lucky dr michelle are you hurt no i'm okay thanks to you all of you i know those men threatened you but if you tell us who they work for we can protect you they work for feast they wanted to shut me up keep me from telling garros about the quarian what quarian a few days ago aquarian came by my office she'd been shot but she wouldn't tell me who did it i could tell she was scared probably on the run she asked me about the shadow broker she wanted to trade information in exchange for a safe place to hide where is she now i put her in contact with fist he's an agent for the shadow broker not anymore now he works for saren and the shadow broker isn't too happy about it feast betrayed the shadow broker that's stupid even for him saren must have made him quite the offer the quarian must have something saren wants something worth crossing the shadow broker to get what else can you tell me about the quarian i'm not sure like i said she wanted to trade information for a place to hide she didn't wait a minute guess her information had something to do with the guest she must be able to link saran to the geth there's no way the council can ignore this time we paid fist to visit this is your show shepard but i want to bring sarah down as much as you do i'm coming with you you're a turian why do you want to bring him down i couldn't find the proof i needed in my investigation but i knew what was really going on sarin is a traitor to the council and a disgrace to my people welcome aboard garris you know we aren't the only ones going after fist the shadow broker hired a krogan bounty hunter named rex to take him out yeah we saw him in the bar a krogan might come in handy last i heard he was at the c-sec academy what's he doing there fist accused him of making threats we brought rex in for a little talk if you hurry you can catch him at the academy before he leaves move out just tell me where he is and i'll go find him oh right well he wanted to meet with me down in the wards near the markets he said he just wanted to talk but i know better his name's shorben he's a salarian you shouldn't have any trouble he's just a scientist sure ben that's the guy who wanted us to scam the keepers the keepers well even more reason to go after him that's against regulations i better look into this right away find out what he's up to stop right there don't come any closer warehouse workers all the real guards must be dead stay back or we'll shoot this would be a good time to find somewhere else to work yeah yeah right that's a good idea yeah i never liked fist anyway it would have been quicker to just kill them shooting people isn't always the answer give me the location now you're on the wards the back alley by the markets she's supposed to meet them right now you can make it if you hurry what are you doing the shadow broker paid me to kill him i don't leave jobs half done i am in charge here you ever pull another stunt like that it was the only contract i had left and don't we have something more pressing to worry about that quarry instead if we don't go now who are you my name's shepard i'm looking for evidence to prove saren's a traitor then i have a chance to repay you for saving my life but not here we need to go somewhere safe we could take her to the human embassy your ambassador will want to see this anyway francis kitt has announced plans to direct hamlet with elcore cast members the production will open dramatic theater to the elkor with a hamlet who uses elkor body language and pheromones kit claims that he's also excited by giving a human audience the chance to judge hamlet by his deeds and not his emotions commander i wasn't expecting to see you again is there something you want you can start by telling me the truth shorben i'm not sure what you're referring to my experiments are we're not buying it jaleed told us you've been after you spoke with jaleed then you know about the data no but you're gonna tell me everything did you have any luck finding shorben i found out you've been lying to me jaleed lying why would i lie to you you forgot to mention the data about the keeper uh he told you i didn't mean for any of this to happen what do you want what's bothering you general i've seen a lot of horrible things in my days and there's only one woman in this damn galaxy that helps me forget it this is pathetic what could a woman do to put you in this state because she rejected me me septimus araka general of the turian fleet is she really worth it there must be other women it's not just any woman i want it's her and her alone look kid i appreciate what you're trying to do but don't waste your time general did you ever win a battle by moping in a bar ah boy that's what this fear is like all right how did i let it come to this so you think it's that easy just straighten up and act like a general it damn well couldn't hurt huh maybe you're right commander shahira's worth the effort even if she won't have me back this is no place for someone of your stature general all right i'll go to her after i've had a cold shower or two i thought the ambassador would be a little more grateful he didn't even thank you what do you expect from a politician come on right behind you shepard do you ever regret leaving citadel security to pursue saturn gareth fighting a rogue specter with countless lives at stake and no regulations to get in the way i'd say that beat c-sec i'm pleased that the imminent destruction of all organic life has improved your career this is it i'll see if i can find out where those stolen credits are going probability of detection 100 initiating self-destruct protocol actually i gave your device to doran but that was years of work what am i gonna do now maybe you should put your talents to better use you're no help at all i'd love to see what the normandy can do in a fight how so the normandy is built for stealth not combat but the stealth drive adds a new tactical level to space combat as we know it surprise attacks undetected flanking maneuvers [Music] if it comes to a fight i'd prefer a flotilla ship it's easier to trust what you've worked on yourself [Music] this is commander shepard speaking we have our orders find sarin before he finds the conduit i won't lie to you crew this mission isn't going to be easy for too long our species has stood apart from the others now it's time for us to step up and do our part for the rest of the galaxy time to show them what humans are made of our enemy knows we're coming when we go into the traverse saren's followers will be waiting for us but we'll be ready for them too humanity needs to do this not just for our own sake but for the sake of every other species in citadel space saren must be stopped and i promise you all we will stop him well said commander captain will be proud the captain gave up everything so i could have this chance we can't fail yes ma'am thanks for bringing me on board commander i knew working with a specter would be better than life at c-sec have you worked with the spectre before well no but i know what they're like inspectors make their own rules you're free to handle things your way at c-sec you're buried by rules the damn bureaucrats are always on your back for the most part the rules are there for a reason maybe but sometimes it feels like the rules are only there to stop me from doing my work if i'm trying to take down a suspect it shouldn't matter how i do it as long as i do it but csec wants it done their way protocol and procedure come first that's why i left so you just quit because you didn't like the way they do things there's more to it than that it didn't start out bad but as i rose in ranks i got saddled with more and more red tape c-sec's handling of saren was typical i just couldn't take it anymore i hate leaving i hope you made the right choice i'd hate for you to regret it later well that's sort of why i teamed up with you it's a chance for me to get off the citadel see how things are done outside c-sec either way i plan to make the most of this and without c-sec headquarters looking over my shoulder well maybe i can get the job done my way for a change as long as you do your job well you're free to go about your business as you see fit thank you commander remember to stay hydrated the conduit but i don't know what the hell was that these ruins are not stable that mining laser must have triggered a seismic event commander how are you why did you want to be a c-sec officer in the first place that's a good question there were several reasons i guess like what probably the same as most officers i wanted to fight injustice wanted to help people i guess my father had something to do with it too he was seasick one of the best i grew up hearing about his accomplishments or seeing his picture on the vids after a big arrest he's taking my resignation pretty hard that's tough but you think you'd be impressed you're going after saren my father's a c-sec man to the bone do things right or don't do them at all he says he thinks i'm being too rash too impatient he's worried i'll become just like saren he actually taught me how of becoming a specter when i was younger for the same reasons you were asked to be a specter well i was targeted as a possible specter candidate me and about a thousand other turian military recruits i could have received special training but my father didn't like it he despises the specters he hates the idea of someone having unlimited power with no accountability he wouldn't like you commander no offense i suppose i can understand his concern you can but sarah's not going to play by our rules c-sec's rules if you want to nail saren you need to send someone who isn't restricted by policies and procedures you're a quick learner garrus we'll beat him at his own game it's the only way to stop someone like him i'm right behind you commander tombs i didn't see anybody if i'd seen you i would have come back for you i swear you can't believe tombs he doesn't have any proof i demand a fair trial commander shepard was at a coos she knows the truth commander good to see you you've been with c-sec a while have you seen much action well not as much as you but yeah i've seen some interesting things i bet you have anything in particular that stands out i remember the solarian geneticist i was sent to investigate that case was a bit disturbing what happened why were you investigating him i was tasked with tracking black market trade on the citadel most of it harmless nothing i needed to pursue but during the course of my investigation i noticed an increase in the trade of body parts organs mostly we usually get a few of those but not the numbers i would see we weren't sure if there was a new black market lab or some freak was harvesting organs from citizens you've seen this before on the citadel every so often some lab sells unwanted parts through the black market but they're not as bad as the cycles i remember this one elkhorn diplomat we caught in my first year on the job he was hacking people up and selling their organs and the station in a bit of a panic but this case wasn't that clear cut turns out there was more going on than we first realized so how did you figure out what was happening first we got a hold of a sample and ran dna tests the weird thing was the match led us to a turian who was still alive and was very convinced he'd never lost his liver after a bit of digging i discovered this turian worked briefly for dr saleon the geneticist so he went to his lab hoping to find evidence of cloned organ development but there was nothing no salarian hearts no turian livers not one krogan testicle you're kidding right why would anyone want krogan testicles some krogan believe that testicle transplants can increase their virility counteract the effects of the genophage it doesn't work but that doesn't stop them from buying they'll pay up to 10 000 credits each that's 40 000 for a full set somebody's making a killing out there what'd you do about the geneticist i brought in some of his employees for interrogation to see if i could get them to talk while i was interviewing one of them i came across something suspicious you mean threatening was that really necessary maybe maybe not either way it paid off one of my detainees started bleeding profusely during the interview we offered to patch him up and he got frantic freaked out i ordered a full exam to find out what was going on our medics found incisions all over his body some of them fresh that was a big break these people weren't just dr saleon's employees they were test tubes walking living test tubes he was growing parts inside these people exactly he cloned their organs right inside their own bodies then he harvested them and sold them off most of the victims were poor he'd pay them each a small percentage of the sales but only if the organs were good sometimes an organ wouldn't grow properly so he'd just leave it in them most of them were a mess but only on the inside hidden so nobody could see it i hope he got what he deserved that's the worst part we never caught him why not what the hell happened he ran blew his lab grabbed some of his employees and headed for the nearest space dock by the time i found out his ship was already leaving he threatened to kill his hostages if we tried to stop him but you went after him anyway right i ordered citadel defense to shoot him down but csec headquarters countermanded my order they were worried about the hostages worried about civilian casualties if the ship was destroyed so close to the citadel i told them those hostages were dead anyway he just used them to make more organs but they wouldn't listen no wonder you hated it there those idiots just let him fly away yes they did i went to palin and told him what i thought of him and his policies he said if i didn't like it i could quit i almost did all they had to do was disable that ship stop him from running maybe the hostages die maybe they don't but at least we stopped the bastard responsible for it all i suppose i can see both sides but what's done is done i suppose can't waste too much time worrying about it now just wish i could have stopped him that's all do you have any idea what happened to dr salian i sent out feelers from time to time hoping to find something i thought i'd found him a while back he changed ships and changed his name to dr hart his idea of a joke i guess i told the military but they weren't convinced it was him i got the transponder frequency for his new ship but i just can't get anyone to check it out i'll check out the coordinates when i get a chance i was hoping you'd say that but commander take me with you when you go if it's a leon i want to be there when you find him that was a detonator commander shepherd at last thank you thank you for saving me from those things commander that's him that's dr saleon what my name is hart dr hart please get me out of here are you sure it's him positive there's no escape this time doctor i'd harvest your organs first but we don't have the time you're crazy he's crazy please don't let him do this to me we'll take him in drop him off with the military but we have him we can't let him get away not again if he dies we'll never know what he's been up to or how he did it we'll take him in interrogate him and he'll serve his time i've okay you're right you're a very lucky salarian you owe the commander your life oh thank you so very much and so he dies anyway what was the point of that you can't predict how people will act garros but you can control how you'll respond in the end that's what really matters yeah i don't think i ever met anyone like you commander well i guess we're done here commander i what can i do for you something bothering you it's sarin i'm starting to wonder whether we'll ever find him he's always one step ahead of us and he's got those damn death we're getting close garrus we'll find him i wish i had your confidence i just can't stand the thought of him getting away with everything he's done i know you're doing everything you can and if anyone can catch him it's you but if there's anything else i can do to help anything just tell me what you want me to do and i'll do it i understand your concern but we will find him just make sure you're ready to go when we do yes ma'am you can count on me thanks for hearing me out i appreciate it can i ask you something commander what is it are you worried that the council might be protecting saren i mean they were really dragging their heels before what if we find him bring him back to the citadel and they refuse to act i get the feeling this isn't a question speak your mind garrus well maybe we shouldn't give them the chance commander in my opinion saren's too dangerous to be kept alive too much could happen he could escape or the council might let him go if we find him when we find him i say we make sure we stop him permanently it'll depend on the situation i'm not committing to anything until i've got him in my sights fair enough either way i'm right behind you commander commander i wanted to thank you what for garrus for everything taking me with you letting me be part of your team i've learned a lot i'm uh thanks commander you're welcome garrus i'm fine i just need to try to think clearly it's just a lingering pain from from the last attack i can't see any significant damage but something is clearly causing her pain please just let her rest she just needs rest i thought you said they were all dead i said they were probably all dead they're surviving but the death really hit them hard we know what that's like those damn synthetics are relentless i'll do whatever i can to keep them away from you but i need some information damn it i'm so sorry i thought you were geth or one of those baron are you saying exogeny knew its people were getting infected it was deemed necessary to assess the true potential of species 37 no wonder they were behaving so strangely your pilot should be warned joker come in joker damn it that field's blocking us we need to drop that field and get back to zeus hope vi what can you tell me about the guest ship and the field it's generating i have limited data on the get they have effectively blocked all sensors within the facility i have detected unusual power fluctuations but am unable to determine the source i hope that ship was full of those death bastards keep your guard up there still might be a few death inside the base i repeat normandy to shore party are you reading anyone there norm indeed a short party come on commander talk to me if their nervous systems are already weakened it may act as a paralyzing agent we might be able to adapt a concussion grenade to deploy it sounds good i'll do what i can excellent it certainly wasn't human no hitting the colonists even if the thorium makes them fire on us that's what the gas grenades are for very well commander let's go [Music] all right we just need to find this creature and determine what it what it's kila what is that that does not look like any plant i've ever seen this may be problematic what was that commander shepard are you all right i saw something it still didn't make any sense you have been given a great gift the experience of an entire people it will take time for your mind to process this information we should get you back to the ship commander medical needs to know about this i'm sorry if you have suffered but there was no other way according to the log files the ship was out near the perseus veil looks like they found some kind of alien artifact they brought it on board and then this doesn't make any sense they plotted a course straight into the perseus veil like they wanted to get to find them what else do the logs say the entries don't make a lot of sense after that it's like the captain's mind was falling apart doesn't say anything about how the ship got back into human territory approach control this is the ssv normally requesting a vector and a birth sergeant sterling secure their weapons citadel authority supersedes yours now that you have my property you want to dictate how i use it i have no interest in a public spectacle everyone on this station is chafing under analysis extortion you might end up a hero my employers rely on the goodwill of the executive board to work here the board is investigating analysis they'll be more angry at him than you all right it is obvious that i cannot dissuade you what did you do here commander me i'm the victim here the geth attacked us geth you expect me to where did they come from if i were to guess the matriarch packed them in the shipping container she arrived with i don't believe that will you release us are we to fail away once more the ragnay were a threat to the galaxy those tanks are filled with acid if she gets out of hand they dissolve her they made a mistake they let the krogan go too far this is a chance for us to atone she has done nothing to us your companions hear the truth you have the power to free us [Music] we've got access to base security you should be able to cut the alarms from you might even be able to trigger alarms on the far side of the base it'll clear out the guards for us but they might be too much for the solarian teams to handle just disable the alarms we can handle any guards inside this is not good you are not seren what is that some kind of vi interface rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh you touch my mind fumbling in ignorance incapable of understanding i don't think this is a vi there is a realm of existence so far beyond your own you cannot even imagine it i am beyond your comprehension i am sovereign this console has been disabled orders come in let's head to the breeding facility joker can pick us up after we set the nuke the normandy's your ship now commander her crew will follow you to the ends of the galaxy we both know that i won't forget this captain i promise i can unlock the normandy from one of the consoles in the citadel control center you'll have a few minutes before anyone realizes what happens that's a restricted area patrolled by armed guards how are you going to get in leave that to me just make sure you're in the normandy when the systems come back online you're going to get yourself killed there has to be another way ambassador udina issued the lockdown order if i can hack into the computer in his office maybe i can override it he won't just stand by while you use his computer hopefully he won't be there if he is i'll just have to think of something the ambassador won't forgive this captain you'll be charged with treason a capital offense we don't have a lot of options i break into the ambassador's computer or i take my chances with the patrols in citadel control you'll have a better chance if you go after the ambassador's computer i was hoping you'd say that the ambassador has made this personal you ready to get the hell off this station commander let's do it i'll take care of the lockdown you get down to the normandy and tell joker to stand by i didn't suffer i can't believe we stole the normandy it's risky but hopefully it'll pay off we'll be fine garrus just be ready when we find sarin yes commander we have to get inside this bunker before seren finds the conduit there is no way we're getting past that door with brute force zero found a way to open it there must be some kind of security override somewhere in this complex we will have to find some way to get it up and running again seren's locked the elevator suit up we're going outside vigil's data file worked i've got control of all systems quick open the station's arms maybe the fleet can take sovereign down see if you can open a communications channel i'm here joker we caught that distress call commander i'm sitting here in the endura sector with the entire arcturus fleet we can save the ascension just unlock the relays around the citadel we'll send the cavalry in are you really willing to sacrifice human lives to save the council shepard this is bigger than humanity sovereign is a threat to every organic species in the galaxy the council must be sacrificed for the greater good don't waste your reinforcements hold them back until the citadel arms open up save the human fleet to attack sovereign what's the order commander come in now to save the ascension or hold back [Music] make sure he's dead he's dead [Music] captain anderson we found him they're in here take it easy it's over you're safe now where's the commander [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] huh [Music] wake up commander shepard do you hear me get out of that bed now this facility is under attack so what can i do for you i'm trying to track down archangel you and half of omega you want him dead too why is everyone after him he thinks he's fighting on the side of good there is no good side to omega everything he does pisses someone off it's catching up to him just the kind of guy i'm looking for really well aren't you interesting you're gonna make some enemies teaming up with archangel that's assuming you can get to him he's in a bit of trouble right now i'm on the mission i hope you're ready archangel's been annihilating you freelancers ready when you are get in it's about time they sent me someone who looks like they can actually fight head straight over the bridge and keep archangel busy so the infiltration team can sneak in behind him that's gotta have suicide pretty much what do you know about archangel i'm the wrong guy to ask i just do logistics ends gonna be easy that's gonna be a [ __ ] let's find him first then we'll figure out how to get back what do you know about archangel his life expectancy is shortening quickly is that it nobody seems to know anything about him look around you'll learn what you need to know he's smart he's resourceful and he's dangerous i'm guessing archangel mostly just hates you he's just an uptight [ __ ] i don't really care what he thinks archangel okay shepard i thought you were dead garrus what are you doing here just keeping my skill sharp a little target practice okay been better but it sure is good to see a friendly face killing mercs is hard work especially on my own what are you doing out here on omega i got fed up with all the bureaucratic crap on the citadel figured i could do more good on my own this is not hard to find criminals here all i have to do is point my gun and shoot how did you manage to piss off every major merc organization in the terminus systems it wasn't easy i really had to work at it i am amazed that they teamed up to fight me they must really hate me since when did you start calling yourself archangel it's just a name the locals gave me for all my good deeds i don't mind it but please it's uh just scares to you you nailed me good a couple times by the way concussive rounds only no harm done didn't want the mercs getting suspicious uh-huh if i wanted to do more than take your shields down i'd have done it besides you're taking your sweet time i needed to get you moving well we got here but i don't think getting out will be as easy no it won't that bridge has saved my life funneling all those witness idiots into scope but it works both ways they'll slaughter us if we try to get out that way just waiting doesn't seem like a good option got any other suggestions this place has held them off so far and three of you i suggest we hold this location wait for a crack in their defenses take our chances it's not a perfect plan but it's a plan how'd you let yourself get into this position my feelings got in the way of my better judgment it's a long story i'll make you a deal you get me out of here alive and i'll tell you the whole damn thing if we fight as a team we'll hold them off you're right their numbers won't help them in here anyway let's see what they're up to looks like they know their infiltration team failed take a look scouts eclipse i think that looks like a lot more than scouts indeed we better get ready i'll stay up here i can do a lot of damage from this vantage point you you can do what you do best just like old times shepard if you want something done properly all right let's see how you handle this archangel go you're kicking ass shepard they barely touched me and we got jareth in the process i've been hunting that little bastard for months why were you after him he's been shipping tina diesel all over citadel space half the goods i seized back at c-sec came from his team here on omega i took out a big shipment a while back and killed his top lieutenant in the process not surprised he decided to work with the other mercs after that we've still got blood packing blue suns left i think we can make a break for it maybe let's see what they're up to they've reinforced the other side heavily but they're not coming over the bridge yet what are they waiting for sounds problematic damn it they breached the lower level well they had to use their brains eventually you'd better get down there shepard i'll keep the bridge clear let's split up two and two keep one of my team here you sure who knows what you'll find down there zaid stay with garrus keep him alive roger that thanks shepard you better get going how do i get to the basement go down a level the basement doors on the west side of the main room behind the stairs i'll radio directions if you need help but you've got to get down there quick good luck get back here shepard we're coming in through the door ah rip them to shreds watch my back i'll deal with archangel tough bastards but i've seen worse and we took out garm and his blood pack this day just gets better and better he was one tough son of a [ __ ] you fought with him before yeah we tangled once caught him alone none of his game to help him he still couldn't take him out i've never seen a krogan reach in that fast he's a freak of nature he just kept at it until his fortune showed up it was close but i had to let him go not this time only the blue suns are left i say we take our chances and fight our way out i think you're right derek's got the toughest group but nothing we haven't faced before besides he won't be expecting us to meet him head-on [Music] [Music] yes we're getting you out of here garrus just hold on radio joker make sure they're ready for us he's not gonna make it commander we've done what we could for garrus but he took a bad hit the doc's corrected with surgical procedures and some cybernetics best we can tell he'll have full functionality but shepard tough son of a [ __ ] didn't think he'd be up yet nobody would give me a mirror how bad is it hell garrus you were always ugly slap some face paint on there and no one will even notice oh oh don't make me laugh damn it my face is barely holding together as it is some women find facial scars attractive mind you most of those women are krogen frankly i'm more worried about you cerberus shepherd you remember those sick experiments they were doing that's why i'm glad you're here garrus if i'm walking into hell i want someone i trust at my side you realize this plan has me walking into hell too just like old times i'm fit for duty whenever you need me shepard i'll settle in and see what i can do with the forward batteries how is our newest turian crew member doing his injuries looked painful he's been through a lot not just physically there's something about him i just want to hold him close and whisper it will be all right i know exactly what you mean you two would be such a cute couple anyway how may i help you commander hey commander we got garrus back that's great because he was totally my favorite with that pole up his ass i assume everything's going well up here shepherd need me for something have the cerberus crewman given you any trouble i think being part of the team that took down saren got me some points everyone i talked to is polite anyway don't worry commander we're all working together have you got a minute sure just checking the weapon systems you can never be too careful i thought i'd seen every weapon in the galaxy in our fight against saren mercenary work showed me otherwise and now cerberus rebuilds the normandy with a few upgrades to boot i wish we joined up with them sooner we haven't joined cerberus they're funding our mission that's all relax shepard just a figure of speech i can't exactly doubt your judgment not after i got my own squad killed what did your merc squad do didn't sound like you were available for hire you saw omega it was full of thugs kicking the helpless i formed my team to kick back we weren't mercenaries at least nobody was paying us we made money by taking down slavers pirates or gangs that went too far it sounds like you were just another gang then i'm saying it wrong we didn't shake anyone down no civilian casualties that was our rule every member of my team had lost someone to omega's gangs we weren't out to get rich we were out to make those bastards think twice before murdering someone in the street how'd you end up fighting mercenaries here on omega after the normandy was destroyed most of us went our separate ways cesek asked me back but i turned them down omega was filled with criminals nobody else could touch and there was no red tape to slow me down it was a perfect fit people here needed someone to believe in someone to stand up to the local thugs that explains how you started how'd you end up with a squad not too different from how you formed your squad to fight saren actually you prove that you get things done and people join up mercs who wanted to atone security consultants tired of playing by the rules i gave them hope and now they're dead shows what i know tell me about your squad there were 12 of us including me former military operatives seasick agents the usual had a solarian explosives expert pretty sure he'd spent time in the special tasks group my tech expert was a batarian believe it or not not the friendliest guy but he could hack any system ever built how did those mercenary gangs take down your team it was my own damn fault one of my people betrayed me a turian named sedonas he drew me away just before the mercs attacked my squad then he disappeared everyone except me is dead because of him and because i didn't see it coming i'm not sure i understand what happened exactly sedonas asked for my help on a job when i got to the meeting point nobody was there by the time i got back to our hideout the mercs had killed all the two of my squad and they didn't last long you sure it was a betrayal maybe they took sedonas out first no i put out feelers with some old contacts he booked transport off omega just before the attack he also cleared out his private accounts before he left he sold me out and ran do you know where sedonas is now no his trail vanishes after he leaves omega but i'll keep hunting i lost my whole team except for sedonas one day i'll find him and correct that thanks for coming by shepard i've got some things to take care of can i help you ma'am it's been a couple years since i've passed through here security seems to have tightened a bit after the death attack there was a review of security protocol a few minor changes were made to reduce the risk of death infiltration we apologize for the inconvenience you think a death would stand out assumptions are dangerous be alert be safe thanks for your time next i thought it might be nice to come back here and see how it's changed but it's just like it was same dirty streets same unrepentant scavenger same revolving door prisons being secured here is a terrible job this is exactly why i left tell me about this place all awards are more or less multicultural but the other four are dominated by asari turians or salarians in zakira we've got major enclaves of volas elkor and there's also a human commercial zone that's shin akiba we've got a few krogan walking around and i think i saw a quarry in the other day i overheard your conversation make him scream a little this isn't a presidium all they have to worry about are protesters outside their free speech zones or someone's poodle crabbing on the grass down here we have drugs organized crime and murder policing award is like policing new york city sometimes you have to work outside the council's rule book c-sec has changed [Applause] dossier doesn't say if ok is on this planet by choice assume hostiles loudspeakers someone likes the sound of their voice stay focused we're looking for a krogan warlord [ __ ] [ __ ] i won't stop bleeding i'm i'm go son of a [ __ ] doesn't look that bad actually he doesn't need to know that you are different new you don't smell like this world seven night cycles and i have felt only the need to kill but you something makes me speak night cycles seven days they must breed them full size ready to kill not much improvement over regular mercs if they need training then the voice said i was not perfect and the teaching stopped and now i am here it was taught enough to be judged we still don't know what the goal was though i don't know but i am not perfect voice did he speak to you while you were in your tank i heard the voice not like now with ears inside i called it father it like that but it was disappointed i'm not what it needs me to be a lab with krogans sounds like an attempt to cure the genophage cure cure was never whispered it's time for you to take me out of here we hear about collectors not your problems i see yes collector attacks have increased a human concern my requests were focused elsewhere why would someone so fanatical sacrifice himself for one krogan that thing can't be worse than okier and if he's tough we need him a pure krogan could pack a hell of a punch we can always use another heavy hitter if he'll help i doubt anyone's asked for his opinion normandy okay is a no go but we have a package that needs retrieval and he's a big one you collect stray cats as a kid because we really needed a mega krogan so thanks for dragging him home you don't even get good information that way after a point victims admit to anything to make the pain stop that's going to open every door on the cell block it's the only way to get jack out of cryo i'm doing it be ready move out sort of looks human this one of the colonists no the geth impaled their victims on giant spikes to turn them into husks but we haven't seen any the collectors must have already had the husks they want the colonists alive for something else collectors must be experimenting on the colonists what are they up to maybe it's better not to know the details guess we'll find out when we stop them these aren't the same creatures i fought on eden prime they're more advanced evolved they still die when you shoot them the collectors aren't getting away with more victims let's move out your people go on all these empty buildings it's unsettling if you have defenses we can use them against the collector ship you'd need to calibrate the targeting system first it's never worked right one of us should be able to figure it out we just need the location head for the main transmitter on the other side of the colony pretty hard to miss the targeting controls are at the base i moved on but here you are pulling me back in and now we've got reports about you and cerberus reports you mean you already knew alliance intel said cerberus could be behind our missing colonies we got a tip that this one could be the next to get hit i went to anderson but he wouldn't talk but there were rumors that you weren't dead worse that you were working for the enemy cerberus and i want the same thing to save our colonies that doesn't mean i answer to them do you really believe that or is that just what service wants you to think i wanted to believe that you were alive i just never expected anything like this you've turned your back on everything we stood for ash you know me you know i'd only do this for the right reason you saw it yourself the collectors are targeting human colonies and they're working with the reapers i'd like to believe you shepard but i don't trust cerberus and it worries me that you do what did they do to you what if they're behind it what if they're the ones working with the collectors damn it williams you're so focused on cerberus that you're ignoring the real threat you're letting how you feel about their history get in the way of the facts shepard our data indicates the tally is somewhere in these ruins there is considerable death activity and an environmental [Music] radiation colossus get down actually i won't be going with you i'm joining commander shepard i'll pass the data to the admiralty board and let him know what happened she's all yours now shepard keep her safe we were always told that ilium is one of the safest places in the galaxy until you fell off the grid sign the wrong contract join up with the wrong company or walk down the wrong alley and it's as dangerous as anywhere else don't let this place fool you it's no safer here than omega [Music] the dogs he's not going to make it if we don't help him i can't breathe that should ease the pain and keep you alive until help arrives maybe you can help me i'm looking for someone not a merc he's on his own well whoever sealed us in here when he found us i thought we were dead but he just closed the door and locked us in locked you in sounds like our assassin was trying to keep them safe assassin here from asana i bet she's got it coming you treat people like this it always comes back to bite you in the ass we don't need any reinforcements i'll take care of it it's under control i'll go down there myself turn around very slowly damn it it's a little information really worth dying over isn't asana no i suppose not okay look last i heard the assassin was down on the mezzanine but the teams on the bridge think they might have spotted him nobody knows for sure get out of here i'm going he owes you what anybody else would have killed him what happened exactly the murk found us and shouted at us to move we panicked and he shouted more i thought he was going to kill us then his head just exploded tell him picked up the murk's gun but we were too afraid to leave and you showed up a perfect head shot with no collateral damage very impressive impressive you certainly know how to make an entrance i needed a diversion you needed to speak with me i need to recruit samara for my mission then we'll be on our way chester cars usually work alone but they are drawn to impossible causes we've got that covered if you're getting her out of my district i'll get you to her asap your superiors are sending you to certain death for no good reason you have a right to disobey we can disobey suicidal orders why wasn't i told that's about twice a day most of the time i'm not being stupid about it i can't say the same brand naive superiors good luck we better find samara before the detective goes after her are you part of pitney forest trade group when i was mortal i worked for pitney poor soul is probably terrified that i have not returned he hasn't reported your disappearance probably so his departure won't get delayed i get the distinct impression pitney prefers money to friends i will wreak adjust revenge upon his people but first the leader of these mercenaries is in the next room i shall toss wassera about like a ragdoll shepard this guy couldn't tie his boot laces much less fight i will tear her apart my biotics are unstoppable osea will tear you apart take a nap you'll feel better are you mad i'm unstoppable feasting on her biotic rich blood old man destroy the universe later so much for godhood that must be the ship tomorrow is looking for should we head back to the police station and give her the name or look around first let's give her the name and keep moving but you don't kill for the hannah anymore your freelance what changed i was asleep for a long time yes i paid no attention to what my body was asked to do but then a laser doc trembles on the skull one finger twitch he dies then the spinner spikes on the spring wind sunset colored eyes defiant in the scope the laser dances away my apologies drills slip into memories so easily was that one of your assassinations uh yes perhaps we can discuss it later i've wasted too much of your time how may i help you commander is there anything i should know garrus received some news that put fire in his eyes maybe you should speak with him down in the main battery anything else commander shepard i'm glad you came by i've got something i may need your help you remember sedonas the one who betrayed my team i found a lead on him there's a specialist on the citadel named fade he's an expert at helping people disappear sedonas was seen with him what happened how did sadonis betray your team he tipped off the mercs told them where our base was he drew me out and let the mercs hit my team my men weren't prepared they tried to hold them off by the time i got back there were only two survivors they didn't last long all ten of them dead because of him what are you planning to do when you find him you humans have a saying an eye for an eye a life for a life he owes me ten lives and i plan to collect you sure that's how you want to play it i'm sure i don't need you to agree with me but i'd like your help where do we find fade i've arranged a meeting we'll meet him in a warehouse near the neon markets down on zakira ward thanks shepard i appreciate you taking the time to help me yes i'm trying to find a local forger he goes by the name of fade yeah i know him the alias anyway he's been a thorn in the network division side for the last year he works with the blue suns where can we find him if i knew that he'd be in a cell best i can do is put you on the trail there's a warehouse in the marketplace some of fades contacts work out of there go ask them some questions gently of course fade you're not quite how i imagined you looks can be deceiving so which one of you wants to disappear i'd rather see you make someone reappear uh that's not the service we provide make an exception just this once damn it quick shoot them shoot them you lumbering mountains why don't you two find somewhere else to skulk just like that you're not getting paid for this what's the point of hiring protection if they won't protect you we're looking for someone a client of yours not mine i'm not fade i just work for him sort of i knew it well then maybe you'd like to tell us where to find him yes of course he's in the factory district who works out of the old prefab boundary i know the place oh he's got a lot of mercs there blue suns harkin thinks they're protecting him what are the blue suns have to do with this could they use his services to help their people infiltrate businesses in various organizations here on the citadel bastard he's using csec to help those scum well not really he got fired from a c-sec a while ago but he still knows the systems interesting but it changes nothing we still need to find him before we can get to sedonas well let's go pay harkin a visit we'll need to go to the transit station i can get us to him from there so i uh i can go sure but if we don't find harkin we'll be back for you oh good [Music] there he is shepard don't just stand there stop him stop then run all you want harken we'll find you so hurricane's finally gone completely bad he was always a pain in the ass but i'm in no mood for his games if he doesn't cooperate i'll beat him within an inch of his life you seem to be getting tense garrus harkett may know why sadonis wanted to disappear if so he knows why we're here and i don't want him tipping sedonas off did you see that i saw something he's getting ready for us what are you gonna do to harken if he won't cooperate he's a real criminal now working for the blue suns i should just shoot him on site but i need him alive so i won't do any permanent damage just enough to loosen his tongue you don't need to hurt him to get what you want don't worry harkin's a coward he'll talk long before i can really hurt him what do you think harkins got waiting for us in there not sure it looks like an industrial complex heavy machinery could be anything something's in there probably more blue suns hawkins kind of trapped himself in a corner he must have something in store for us he's still planning to kill sedonas when we find him that's the plan it'll be quick and painless unlike everyone he betrayed to be spared the agony of a slow death is more than he deserves but as long as he's dead i'll be satisfied garrus do you really think killing sedonas will make things right i have to do this i don't expect you to understand but please don't try to stop me i'll pull the trigger and i'll live with the consequences all i'm asking is that you help me find him well there's one way to find out right behind you so you are close but not close enough so fade couldn't make yourself disappear huh come on garrus we can work this out what do you need i'm looking for someone well i guess we both have something the other one wants we're not here to ask favors harkin you don't say you helped a friend of mine disappear i need to find him i might need a little more information than that his name was sedonas victorian came from the i know who he is and i'm not telling you squat harkin this doesn't have to be hard screw you i don't give out client information it's bad for business you know what else is bad for business a broken neck all right all right get off me terminus really changed you huh garrett no but sedonas opened my eyes now arrange a meeting i'm going yeah it's me there's a chance your identity may be compromised that's why i'm calling i'm sending an agent where do you want to meet all right he'll be there don't worry i got it covered it's all good he wants to meet you in front of orbital lounge middle of the day so if our business is done i'll be going i don't think so you're a criminal now harkin so what you're just gonna kill me that's not your style garrus kill you no but i don't mind slowing you down a little you don't need to shoot him he won't be able to hide from c-sec now i guess it's your lucky day yeah i hope we can do this again real soon i didn't shoot him come on let's move sedonas better be there or i'm coming back to finish the job [Music] harkin's a bloody menace we shouldn't have just let him go he deserved to be punished getting a little worried about you garrus you were pretty hard on harkin you don't think he deserved it this is not like you what do you want from me shepard what would you do if someone betrayed you i'm not sure but i wouldn't let it change me i would have said the same thing before it happened to me it's not too late you don't have to go through with this who's going to bring sedonas to justice if i don't nobody else knows what he's done nobody else cares i don't see any other options let me talk to him talk all you want but it won't change my mind i don't care what his reasons were he screwed us he deserves to die i understand what you're going through but do you really want to kill him i appreciate your concern but i'm not you this isn't you either really i've always hated injustice the thought that sedonas could get away with this why should he go on living while 10 good men lie in unmarked graves i'm sorry shepherd words aren't going to solve this problem i need to set up i can get a clear shot from over there what do you need me to do keep him talking and don't get in my way i'll let you know when he's in my sights give me a signal so i know you're ready and i'll take the shot you better go he'll be here soon shepard can you hear me loud and clear all right there he is wave him over and keep him talking let's get this over with you're in my shot move to the side listen sedonas i'm here to help you don't ever say that name aloud i'm a friend of garrus's he wants you dead but i'm hoping that's not necessary garrus is this some kind of joke damn it shepard if he moves i'm taking the shot you're not kidding are you screw this i'm not sticking around here to find out tell garrus i had my own problems don't move get off me i am the only thing standing between you and a hole in the head [ __ ] look i didn't want to do it i didn't have a choice everyone has a choice they got to me said they'd kill me if i didn't help what was i supposed to do let me take the shot shepard he's a damn coward that's it you were just trying to save yourself i know what i did i know they died because of me i have to live with that i wake up every night sick and sweating each of their faces staring at me accusing me i'm already a dead man i don't sleep food has no taste some days i just want it to be over just give me the chance gotta let it go garrus he's already paying for his crime he hasn't paid enough he still has his life look at him garrus he's not alive there's nothing left to kill my men they deserve to better tell garrus i guess there's nothing i can say to make it right just go tell him to go he's giving you a second chance sit on us don't waste it i'll try garrus i'll make it up to you somehow thank you for talking to him [Music] i know you want to talk about this but i don't not yet i know it didn't go the way you planned but i think it's for the best i'm not so sure give it time yeah maybe that'll be enough i want to know i did the right thing not just for me for my men they deserve to be avenged but when sedonas was in my sights i just couldn't do it the lines between good and evil blur when we're looking at people we know yeah there was still good in him i could see it so much easier to see the world in black and white gray i don't know what to do with grey you gotta go with your instincts my instincts are what got me into this mess don't be too hard on yourself thanks shepard for everything let's get going i need some distance from this place i'm with you have a few minutes to talk very well i never explained i suppose the story of my wife's death took you by surprise i figured you'd explain to me when you were ready i appreciate your patience i kept my work clear of our home life i assumed that would be enough to protect erica that memory i mentioned before lakeshore terminals on the target's skull the smell of spice on the spring wind sunset eyes defiant in scope that was erica that was how i met her she saw my targeting laser as she walked by and threw herself in the way so how'd she go from blocking your shot to having your children i had to meet her the memory possessed and endowed me i fell on my knees before her begged her pardon she introduced me to the world beyond my work eventually she forgave me later she loved me i guess she impressed you she woke me up i haven't spoken about my wife and i don't think i ever have thank you for listening see her i think my translator just glitched what did you call me see her someday i'll tell you what it means shepherd need me for something have you got a minute sure just killing time anyway i wanted to thank you again for your help with sedonas whatever happens with the collectors or the reapers or whoever else comes after us i know you'll get the job done you actually think we'll find something worse than collectors or reapers i like to expect the worst there's a small chance i'll be pleasantly surprised i couldn't do this without you garrus sure you could not as stylishly of course it's strange going into a suicide mission on a human ship your people don't prepare for high-risk operations the way turret hints do honestly garrus what do you think our chances are honestly the collectors killed you once and all they did is piss you off i can't imagine they'll stop you this time but an unmapped area advanced technology and the collectors we're going to lose people no way around that not a happy analysis i know don't worry i won't spread it around and i'm with you regardless do you ever regret leaving csac or the turing military not for a minute when it comes down to it shepard i don't think i'm a very good turian when a good turian hears a bad order he follows it he might complain but he knows his place i just don't see the point staying quiet and polite now when the galaxy is at stake how do turian crews get ready for high-risk missions with violence usually turian ships have more operational discipline than your alliance but fewer personal restrictions our commanders run us tight and they know we need to blow off steam turian ships have training rooms for exercise combat sims even full contact sparring whatever lets people work off stress you mean turian ships have crew men fighting each other before a mission it's supervised of course nobody's going to risk an injury that interferes with the mission and it's a good way to settle grudges amicably i remember right before one mission we were about to hit a batarian pirate squad very risky this recon scout and i had been at each other's throats nerves mostly she suggested we settle it in the ring i assume you took her down gently actually she and i were the top-ranked hand-to-hand specialists on the ship i had reach but she had flexibility it was brutal after nine rounds the judge called it a draw there were a lot of unhappy betters in the training room we ended up holding a tie breaker in her quarters i had reach but she had flexibility more than one way to work off stress i guess it sounds like you're carrying some tension maybe i could help you get rid of it i didn't think you'd feel like sparring commander what if we skipped right to the tie breaker we could test your reach and my flexibility oh i didn't never knew you had a weakness for men with scars well why the hell not there's nobody in this galaxy i respect more than you and if we can figure out a way to make it work then yeah definitely i love what they've done with the place looks like a giant insect hive penetrating scans have detected an access node to uplink with collector data banks parking location to your heartsuit computer [Music] why would the collectors just leave a pile of bodies lying around they must have been used for testing if they were a control group they would have been discarded at the end of the experiment there are worse things than death like being a test subject for twisted aliens i know you're right but it doesn't make me feel any better that's a collector were they experimenting on one of their own edie i'm uploading the data from this terminal see if you can figure out what they were up to this collector likely descends from a prothean colony in the sticks theta cluster but there are signs of extreme alteration creepers didn't wipe out the protheans they turned them into monsters and enslaved them still they're working for the reapers now and we have to stop them no species should have to suffer through that let's find what we need before the collectors come to salvage this vessel move out they could take every human in the terminus systems and still not have enough to fill these pods they're going to target earth not if we stop them there on the platform looks like some kind of control panel where are the bodies of the collector crew careful shepard something doesn't feel right about this no it is unusual because turin emergency channels have secondary encryption it is corrupted in the message it is not possible that the elusive man would believe the distress call was genuine why are you so sure i found the anomaly with cerberus detection protocols he wrote them he knew it was a trap why would he send us into a trap we don't have time to throw blame around we'll question him when we're out this is a bad time to become an optimist shepard commander we got another problem the collector ship is powering up we're out of time commander we have to go you heard the man everybody on to the normandy move i forgot how much i hate this place see the landing pad has to be on the roof or the vegetation would overgrow it something's distorting the sensors this was a secret cerberus facility yeah they build their equipment to last [ __ ] the elusive man requested operation sounds like this facility went rogue he didn't say what they were hiding from the elusive man at first i thought it was a waste of ammunition just to kill incoming vermin now i think if these ergonomic can pinpoint such small mammals with these guns they'll make short work of an incoming invasion force i need grunt back up to speed what's wrong with him there's nothing wrong with him he's becoming a full adult adolescence can't we just take him to omega and buy him a few dances i don't care what aliens call it krogan undergo the rite of passage you live shepherd need me for something have you got a minute yeah i've been thinking about what we talked about blowing off steam easing tension i've never considered cross species intercourse damn saying it that way doesn't help now i feel dirty and clinical are we crazy to even be thinking about this i'm not look shepherd i know you can find something a little closer to home i don't want something closer to home i want you i want someone i can trust i can do that i'll find some music and do some research to figure out how this thing should work it'll either be a knight to treasure or a horrible interspecies awkwardness thing in which case fighting the collectors will be a welcome distraction so you know a win either way you know garrus if you're not comfortable with this it's okay i'm not trying to pressure you shepard you're about the only friend i've got left in this screwed up galaxy i'm not gonna pretend i've got a fetish for humans but this isn't about that this is about us you don't ever have to worry about making me uncomfortable nervous yes but never uncomfortable i like to get back to work right because i'm in a great place to optimize firing algorithms right now duct rats take whatever is available to get by data running fencing stolen goods selling illegal vi personalities actually he was selling one of you me yeah when you erased the file it would say i delete data like you on the way to real errors that's pretty extreme commander laugh it up garrus buggy though it crashed every half hour and the error message was about how the galaxy was at stake and you should fix the problem yourself shepherd need me for something have you got a minute definitely part of me still thinks we're crazy for even considering blowing off steam but i want to try it with you i want a few moments that are just for us before we throw ourselves into hell for the good of the galaxy i want that too garrus glad to hear it i'll do some uh research and figure out how to you know okay that sounded bad shepard how can i help have you got a minute to talk actually wanted to talk medical matters aware that mission is dangerous different species react differently to stress sexual activity normal stress release for humans and turians still recommend caution mourn of chafing i intend to be cautious doctor but garrus is important to me you're not going to scare me off of course hormones regardless come see me later may need analgesic chafing you have a recommendation as a doctor turian's based on dextro amino acids human ingestion of tissue could provoke allergic reactions anaphylactic shock possible so don't ingest also forwarding advice booklet to your quarters valuable diagrams positions comfortable for both species erogenous zone overviews can supply oils or ointments to reduce discomfort gave ed electronic relationship a demonstration bids to use as necessary wait a minute morton you're just yanking me around aren't you shocking suggestion doctor patient confidentiality a sacred trust would never dream of mockery enjoy yourself while possible shepard will be here studying cell reproduction much simpler less alcohol and mood music required huh they're from the same group as the ones that attacked us but these are docile there aren't any men here maybe it affects genders differently makes males get violent possibly but the female on the beach said the exiled ones came back as hunters it doesn't matter right now one of these people must know what my father has to do with this after a while the perks seemed normal maybe we go arrange pick up for the rest of the survivors while the acting captain deals with the hole we punch through his max now wait i'm supposed to get rescued the crazy ones you don't know what they'll do to me [Music] i'm willing to make a guess i'm fine by the way thanks for asking come on she's getting away be smart let baron walk out with us you won't be walking out at all you're quite confident for someone with nowhere left to hide you travel with fascinating companions doctor it's good you brought archangel to sony your friend's bounty is still unclaimed you're not putting a hand on anyone then we do this the hard way so tell me what you want what are you fighting for a chance to give garris some peace he's been hurt betrayed he deserves something better i never thought i'd find peace in the arms of a turian but why not humans seem to have no trouble finding a sorry attractive everyone finds a sorry attractive i hope the two of you find some happiness shepard way i'd hate to see what you call a disaster you can't dismiss the entire project we did succeed at least partially to enter you need to manually override security from our facilities in the prometheus and vulcan stations i hear you doctor we've hit the override at balkan station and are moving on shepard out exploring an abandoned area expecting something mechanical and nasty to jump out at any moment just like old times everyone's dead i've seen this too many times it sounds like the reaper was affecting their minds [Music] i shouldn't be able to talk shepard you want something done with that gaff it's still intact leave it there you know what they are if it gets into normandy's computers you said it yourself no one's ever found one intact that's true but i'm not sure it's worth the risk shepard there's no time to debate it tally come on we're clear go if released into the station's network the heretics will be rewritten to accept our truth that sounds dangerously close to indoctrination unless there's something i'm missing and maybe this is how ais settle religious disputes together already a threat to organics though if we give them back their heretics they'll get even stronger why didn't you mention this before we came aboard shepard i'm picking up useful resources in the githubs we could salvage them for supplies what are these processors each contains thousands of deaths can't they see us walking by they are no more aware of us than you are of cells in your bloodstream this isn't like the other hubs we've seen here the heretics chose a path that prohibits coexistence you're letting them make their decisions then killing them for it you can't have it both ways legion their choice was to remove our right to make decisions using this virus we choose to defend ourselves the collectors took my people time to go get them back you got it commander plotting a course for the omega 4 relay eta about two hours i'll let you know when we arrived hey i brought wine best i could afford on a vigilante salary if you were a turian i'd be complimenting your waist or your fringe so you're um hair looks good and your waist is very supportive hopefully that's not offensive and human wow consider me seduce smooth talker now shut up and stop worrying i i just i i've seen so many things go wrong shepard my work at csec what happened with sedonas i want something to go right just once just we need someone with tech skills to hack that security system tally you're up i won't let you down the rest of us will break into two teams and fight down each passage that should draw the collector's attention away from what you're doing garrus you're in charge of the second team let's bring our people home second team are you in position in position meet you on the other side of those doors come in look out seek or swarm we're in position we need this door open now go we'll cover you something's wrong the door's stuck [Applause] don't let anyone through that door nice work tally i knew you wouldn't let me down shepard you need to see this a rear guard could defend this position and keep the collectors from overwhelming us pick a team to go with you shepard everyone else can bunker down here and cover your back i'm ready commander me too anything to say before we do this the collectors the reapers they aren't a threat to us they're a threat to everything everyone those are the lives we're fighting for that's the scale it's been a long journey and no one's coming out without scars but it all comes down to this moment we win or lose it all in the next few minutes make me proud make yourselves proud we got 10 minutes before the reactor overloads and blows this whole station apart [Music] i'm here joker did the ground team make it all survivors on board we're just waiting for you [Music] [Music] [Music] so someone saw garrus heading to your quarters with a bottle of champagne i'm happy for you too it's not often you find something good in a galaxy like this for sarah now the collectors remind me never to get on your bad side shepard i almost feel sorry for the reapers oh no no palaven we have an old friend there holy hell they're getting decimated strongest military in the galaxy and the reapers are obliterating it general commander shepard urge you were coming but i didn't believe it general corinthos i've come to get primark fedorian primark fedorian is dead his shuttle was shot down an hour ago as it tried to leave the moon i'm sorry i hear he was a good man and a friend he would have been an outstanding diplomat so what happens now the turian hierarchy provides very clear lines of succession right general corinthus with such heavy casualties it's hard for me to be certain who the next primark is palaven command will know however at the moment contacting them is impossible the calm tower is out husks are swarming that area we can't get close enough to repair it don't worry general i'll get your tower operational thank you commander i'll take care of things on this end all right let's go what have you got as your partner said succession is usually simple but right now the hierarchy is in chaos so many dead or m.i.a i need someone i don't care who as long as they can get us the turian resources we need i'm on it shepard we'll find you the primark garrus the carrion sir i didn't see you arrive at ease general you're alive i'm hard to kill you should know that good to see you again i thought you'd be on palavin if we lose this moon we lose palaven i'm the closest damn thing we have to an expert on reaper forces so i'm advising james this is gareth bakarian he helped me stop the collectors he's a hell of a soldier lieutenant good to see you too learn good to see you in one piece garrus general corinthis filled me in we know who we're after palaven command tells me that the next primark is general adrian victor's invictus his name's crossed my desk know him garrus i was fighting alongside him this morning lifelong military gets results popular with his troops not so popular with military command has a reputation for playing loose with accepted strategy what do you mean on tetris during the uprisings his squad discovered a salarian spy ring about the same time the turian separatists did rather than neutralize the ring he fell back he even gave up valuable fortifications which the rebels took then the rebels attacked the solarians and when both groups had worn each other down victus moved back in didn't lose a man bold strategy but wild behavior doesn't get you advanced up the meritocracy primark victus that should be something to see you think he can get the job done we both know conventional strategy won't beat the reapers right now he could be our best shot and i trust him okay let's get him on the shuttle and get out of here commander shepard come in can this wait joker we're in the middle of a war zone we've got a situation on the normandy commander it's like she's possessed shutting down systems powering up weapons i can't find the source i need the normandy standing by we may have to bug out should i go back and take a look do it garrus you said you were with victus this morning yeah but we got separated he went to bolster a flank that was breaking could be anywhere out there we're trying to raise him commander incoming harvester headed for the airfield general tell primark victims will rendezvous here in the meantime let's go take care of whatever that thing dropped off coming garrus are you kidding i'm right behind you what's the word of the primark still can't get a stable calm link okay i'm going on foot shepherd out garrus take me to the last place you saw victus how far should be pretty quick unless we find [Music] trouble damn it look at palavin that blaze of orange the big one that's where i was born that's rough still have family there my dad a sister how bad is it three million lost the first day five the second how's your military holding up look around that should give you some idea are you putting up a good fight for now but how long did it take before the fights kicked out if they'd only listened to your warnings about the reapers we might have been ready maybe hard to figure how you prepare for something like this [ __ ] i hate those things and new york is crawling with the creepy bastards i never should have left earth it's gonna be bad all over leaving the fight just pisses me off but you're here asking victus to do the same thing leave the fight to make nice and some boardroom this summit is the only chance we've got none of us is beating the reapers alone general victus yes i'm commander shepard of the normandy ah commander i know who you are i can't wait to find out what brings you out here vicarion where did you go heavy reaper unit on the right flank i believe your exact words were get that thing the hell off my men appreciate it general you're needed off planet i've come to get you it will take something beyond important for me to leave my men or my turian brothers and sisters in their fight for dorian was killed you're the new primark you need it immediately to chair a summit and represent your people in the fight against the reapers i'm primark of palaven negotiating for the turian hierarchy yes war is your resume at a time like this we need leaders who've been through that hell i like that you're right and honestly uniting these races may take as much strength as facing the reapers see this devastation primark double that for earth i need an alliance i need the turian fleet [Music] give me a moment to say goodbye to my men without him down here there's a good chance we lose this move without him up there there's a good chance we lose everything look at that and they want my opinion on how to stop it failed c-sec officer vigilante and i'm their expert advisor think you can win this thing shepard yeah i don't know garrus but i'm sure it's all gonna give it my best shot i'm damn sure nobody else can do it for whatever it's worth i'm with you welcome aboard are you ready primark victus one thing commander i appreciate your need for our fleets but i can't spare them not while my world is burning but if the pressure could be taken off palaven that's a pretty tall order we need the krogan i can't see us winning this thing without them get them to help us and then we can help you the krogan looks like your summit just got a lot more interesting two of our dreadnoughts have been lost in a matter of hours i know primark i'm seeing the same numbers myself they don't look good we have to turn this around and fast well you can trust shepard sir if anybody can get the krogan to cooperate it's her she's an old friend of heard not rex let's just hope friendship still counts for something in this war i'm sure it will sir gareth didn't waste any time getting to work i see after what i've been through lately calibrating a giant gun is a vacation gives me something to focus on we're gonna need you for more than your aim oh i'm ready for it but i'm pretty sure we'll still need giant guns and lots of them can't argue with that yeah so is this the part where we shake hands wasn't sure about the protocol on reunions or if you even still felt the same way about me the scars are starting to fade i remember they drove you wild [Laughter] but i can go out and get all new ones if it'll help i haven't forgotten our time together well i've been doing some more research on human customs that's the protocol on reunions the vids mentioned it might go something like that i had hoped it would i mean i didn't know i can't promise how things will work out not with this war but i missed you garrus i thought about you a lot glad to know my romantic um skills made an impression because it's going to take more than reapers to come between this cross species liaison speaking of which you said you're the expert advisor on reapers now it's not as impressive as it sounds i ruffled some feathers so they gave me a token title along with the token task force so i'd shut up how'd you manage that just followed your example shepard yell loud enough and someone will eventually come over to see what all the fuss is about and not that they'll actually do anything about it until hell shows up at their door then they put you in charge not like the old days is it rogue spectre and seasick agents running and gunning outside the lines making it up as we went along we're actually respectable now yeah i have a feeling that respect comes with a lot of sleepless nights i can't even count how many lives are depending on us garrus well when things are looking grim and i'm pretty sure they will just remember we're in this together and if it ends with both of us dying in a giant explosion taking out a reaper remember i took the kill shot something else you want to talk about you mentioned you still had family on palavin my father is there sister too how long's it been since you heard from them long enough to be worried i'm sure they're okay that's the thing about getting old shepard the platitudes get just as old pretty soon blind hope is all we'll have left and i hate being blind i know you don't have any illusions about what we're up against garrus how do you rate our chances i know it looks bad now but i think we can win this shepard for the first time since we met we're not alone in the fight it's something i learned long ago in csec an imminent and painful death has a way of motivating people instead of questioning your every word whole civilizations are going to be begging you to save them after what's happened to palaven you still believe that i didn't say there wouldn't be casualties it's something terians are taught from birth if just one survivor is left standing at the end of a war then the fight was worth it but humans want to save everyone in this war that's not going to happen so what's this reaper task force you've been running after what happened to you out there in material space i knew time was running out for all of us the citadel council was a dead end so i did something i never thought i'd do i went to my father he used to work for c-sec didn't he i seem to remember that the two of you didn't see eye to eye to put it mildly but he still had heavy pull in the turian government the primark well the old one was a friend of his so i went to my father and laid out everything we knew about the reapers from saren all the way to the collector base i'm not sure even i'd believe it i had to admit that parts of it sounded crazy meeting vigil talking to sovereign on vermeyer but my father just listened it's what he did in his days at seasec putting together all the pieces if the connections were there he wouldn't deny them and he saw what we always knew the reapers were coming i'm glad someone finally agreed he did more than agree he took it to the primark i like his style except the primark wasn't as convinced my father kept pushing and finally got him to commit some token resources and if you call them a task force it sounds like you did something about it what to do with it as much as i could get away with and a little more we hardened our lines of communications expanded emergency stockpiles across the colonies improved our early warning detection protocols you think it helped i'd like to think about our fleet some extra time we'll know when this war is over so you can vouch for this new primark well even if i couldn't you go to war with the army you have will he live up to his word i've never known victus to lie play fast and loose with strategy maybe but betray an ally not a style then if he did try well we'll just find another primark i noticed generals saluting you garrus how far down the line of secession are you these days let's not go there why not i've seen you in action think about it primark vacarion honored war hero somebody's going to have to rebuild palaven when this is over your confidence is inspiring but it'll have to be someone who knows how to hold the hammer that's all for now garrus but stay close we've got some catching up to do do you know where to find me and this time i can afford the good stuff there are a few perks to being an expert reaper advisor deal now i'm sure somebody screwed up something down here i want to get the old girl back in fighting shape jack shepherd damn it how many times did i tell you not to trust cerberus you're not telling me anything i haven't told myself jack oh you feel bad well [ __ ] i bet that's a big comfort to all the people cerberus is killed as charming as ever bite me garrus better yet bite her probably how she likes it let's go one of the worst parts of this war is watching the kids react if they're lucky they grow up thinking the galaxy is basically a decent place some rough spots here and there but for the most part life makes sense now they find out it was all a lie they wake up to see these things in the dark that just want to destroy everyone they ever cared about if they survive there'll be a lot of angry orphans out there looking for answers hmm life just wouldn't have been complete if i didn't see jack one more time it's nice to see she's downgraded from dangerous lunatic to mildly insane you have to admit though she did see through cerberus back in the day i might have even listened but her tattoos gave me a headache every time she walked into the room looks like we beat cerberus again do you think the elusive man fires lieutenants over failures like this or just lines them up against the wall and gets it over with i wish they had had a grissom academy for turians when i was growing up always wanted to learn how to paint now i mostly paint walls with reaper blood not the same but it's a living eden prime this is where it all began where the prothean beacon gave you the vision that warned us about the reapers and where saren launched his first major attack with the geth yes and now with cerberus here eden prime's colonists are under attack again seems like more than just three years ago i remember the reports i was busting my ass trying to find evidence against aaron hearing that he'd attacked a colony while ice admired in bureaucracy that was a bad day sometimes i find it hard to believe you were ever in seasick i wanted to help people fortunately you showed me how to use the direct approach cerberus hit eden prime hard whatever they found here was worth a major offensive there are survivors elsewhere on the colony but they killed everyone near the dig site they deserve better i know the alliance did what it could to evacuate colonists but cerberus came in so quickly if we find survivors we'll do what we can what about this artifact is it part of the prothean device we found on mars the alliance didn't get any specifics about what cerberus has uncovered but whatever it is it's better off with us than with cerberus i'm bringing you in as close to the dig site as i can no way we'll avoid detection but you should have a few minutes understood all right everyone get ready to with luck we can get to the dig site before cerberus knows we're here this was a beautiful colony once it survived saren it can survive this they rebuilt mendoir it wasn't the same it never is a prothean like the collectors or those bodies we found back on like the bodies we found back on islos but this one is alive you're right that doesn't sound possible the prothean empire spanned the known galaxy they uplifted countless other species to help them join the galactic community galactic community you think they had something like a council yes exactly there they are seen a lot of crazy things in my time on the normandy shepherd a talking reaper talking plant and now a real live talking prothean hell of a thing waking up to find everything you know is destroyed but i imagine the chance to get some payback is consolation doubt you and i will ever get a second chance against the reapers what do you suppose the prothean eats what if it's boiled asari with a side of fried turian i don't know about liara but i'm not taking that one for the team if this war goes south maybe we could freeze you for fifty thousand years shepard you could go from being merely famous to legendary shepherd what's happening we convinced the council to accept our wounded nowhere else to go how bad is it more dead than injured 85 killed in action we'll need a morgue soon not a lot of flesh wounds when you're fighting rapers casualties are that high our frontline units are being wiped out whole platoons at a time a single reaper can destroy nine or ten of them in one attack that's not war it's slaughtering they're called reapers for a reason and these guys found out why do what you can for them a few of them might get back on their feet but the rest sympathy is about all we can offer any sign of your family not yet but i keep hoping what about you i'm starting to see some wear and tear i won't lie it's been rough well don't forget to come up for air and not just because all these people need you because i need you this is the solarian home world we're headed to they aren't used to seeing krogan here so let's keep it simple we land get the females and leave before anyone changes their mind i still don't trust a word they say let diplomacy play out rex you'll get what you want these females are the best and probably last hope for my people we'll bring them back rex don't worry i appreciate that liara i wouldn't want anyone else along for the ride i suppose i can make room for you too garrus figured you'd gone soft sitting on your throne forgot how to hold the gun commander i have the solarian base on sensors set her down now we can get back to doing what krogan do best saving everyone else from giant monsters never going to let us forget about the rachni waters are you the last time i was at the citadel i didn't see a turian statue in your honor [Music] just wait till this war is over commander shepard it's major kirihi i'd heard you were coming good to see you again sounds like you've been promoted yes due in no small part to our mission on vermont hold the line you saved my men that day good to see you friendly face major garris vacarion always a pleasure shepard excellent timing good to have you here morton eyesight's still sharp surprise understandable hadn't expected to return to work you're back with stg special consultant had to be me someone else might have gotten it wrong [Applause] careful there goes the next shadow broker could have sworn he was muttering to sony the whole time not funny shepard they say female krogan have a thing for guys with scars so i've heard i've got a few myself here's hoping nobody's planning an arranged marriage to cement this deal though i have to say i admire eve the things she must have endured living with the genophage and now to top it all off she's her people's last hope imagine the pressure takes real courage to face that i hope we can measure up i guess we're at war with cerberus now huh i've never actually seen a female krogan seems like they're the real brains on tichonka good to see morton still alive and kicking and still finding new ways to cause trouble this crash site's a nightmare edie try to raise lieutenant victus yes ma'am proteurian commander what happened here is let's just say victorian coat is not forgiving and that it's his son is bad for the primark promoting family without merit can bite you in the ass what's strange is the primark knows that looks worse than i feared a secretarian mission on sachanka is especially odd thoughts nothing has come up through any of my networks escape pod our first casualties enemies up ahead don't know we're here surprise on our side for once i like it exactly enough about me what were you doing before we met up here oh you know this and that come on spill it to sony very well i fought several explosive battles with cerberus i helped shepard stop a robotic assassin on mars oh and i discovered plans for a prothean doomsday device that were buried for fifty thousand years yeah so just this and that huh your sojourn on omega generated quite a few articles not to mention security footage there's one thing i couldn't dig up though did you really take out three blue suns mercenaries with one bullet no of course not the third guy had a heart attack not fair to count him talk to me about this cerberus bomb it's not cerberus commander it's turian what do you mean turian it was planted centuries ago after the krogan rebellions the bomb was a safeguard against another galactic war brutal but it makes a certain kind of sense put the krogan down hard if they tried anything it must have been far enough underground to stay hidden cerberus had to dig it out i hope victus knows what he's doing we won't get a second chance we gotta move shepard the tyrions took a lot of casualties joker the primark son included understood commander joker he never hesitated whatever he was before he'll be remembered for this what will the turians think about this garrus hard to say sacrifice him more as expected he did us proud but we're a hard bunch to please living your life for the cause society first platoon first it's all just expected he did what he had to do when it counted yes yes he did i'll assume you didn't know about this my good friend wouldn't hide the fact that his people planted a doomsday bomb on my planet right rex i was just as much in the dark as you honest that's what i needed to hear just making you sweat wasn't sure you could you're always so calm i'd be happy to give krogan some lessons on relaxing and we'd be happy to feed you ma rick's out and next time shepherd don't let him near the intercom i don't know what turian came up with the idea but a doomsday bomb was damned ingenious embarrassing now but a genius back then i'm glad rex is taking this so well my people haven't exactly treated his kind with charity over the years any updates shepard our backups waiting for us at the drop point our lat company krogan commandos we don't know much but no ratna activity has been reported it doesn't make sense we let that last ragnay queen live on the condition she disappeared forever she wouldn't risk everything to start a war just be ready for anything yeah shuttle just arrived you better get moving team two see anything let me know grunt shepard shepard our scans show the tunnels down there lead to a large central point if we're lucky it's a nest sounds like fun just like old times grunt is that webbing looks like it this darkness is going to make it a little harder shepard agreed everybody be ready movement anybody catch that i saw it i hardly recognized him reaper's made some modifications look at this no question reapers have been here agreed let's find out why we're blocked shepard copy that how are we getting by this shipper what is that grunt we've located the central chamber good we got your back shepard cortez were the last ones out copy that commander shuttle is waiting [Music] grunt anybody got something to eat [Music] for the first time i faced rack nine really you've seen them before few years back on novaria sarin and his minions were trying to extract information from the ragdy queen you saw the queen hell we spoke to her you spoke i can't imagine that the things you've done sir they're amazing well it didn't seem that way at the time mostly you're just calling your way out of one mess and into another hoping your ass comes along for the ride just one word shepard grunt there'll be a lot more dead reapers now siding with the giant spiders again huh shepard let's hope this finally pays off most people have never even seen arachnid the normandy we're a regular safari tour if i never see another spider again i'll die a contented turian unless they have spiders in the afterlife damn fascinating this painting suggests krogan had an artistic side pad being the operative word now they have rubble there it is again that didn't feel like a tremor to me rex are you guys feeling these tremors not up here it could be something else commander it is said that cow ross the mother of all thresher moths lives in this region which is another reason to get your ass out of there shepherd step on it did i hear that right kal ross the mother of all thresher maws when the krogan name a thresher maw you know you're in trouble they don't think anyone's ever going to kill it wild guess says that's cal ross if that's what we've been hearing down here i suggest we get moving they're bound to be more than just the ones we killed rex we've got rachni here keep an eye out in my younger days i would have loved to have spent time here studying these ruins makes you wonder what the krogan might have done if they hadn't blown up the planet another quake that had to be cal ross i'm really starting to hate this place we don't have a plan for this i know we've beaten the odds before but getting to that tower i don't know everyone all right fine here mostly i think so did we just get shot by a reaper consider that practice stick to cover i'm not sure cover's going to work be with them commander erdognotrax has begun sending troops to palaven you kept your end of the bargain and now i'll keep mine the turian hierarchy will stand with humanity against the reapers i'm glad we can help each other out it's the only way we're going to defeat the reapers that much is certain to that end several drydock ships are ready to help build the crucible garris will coordinate them yes sir and when the time comes to deploy it the full measure of our fleet will be there for earth may the spirits watch over us all i'll start managing turian support right away shepard you must be exhausted morton dying it can't be easy i'll sleep when i'm dead we both know you need a clear head to win a war there's no room for mistakes here you should catch some shut eye besides i know where you sleep we'll wake you if anything comes up if you insist all right my turn what's the first order an alliance commander gives at the start of combat um i give up correct all right big guy what do you call it when aturia gets killed by a horrible spiky monster friendly fire come on that one goes back to shangshi how you gotta respect the classics how many humans does it take to activate a dormant mass relay 602 600 to vote on it one to ask you sorry for technical help and one to request a seat on the council afterward how do you know when a turian is out of ammo he switches to the stick up his ass as a backup weapon why does the alliance hire pilots with brittle bone disease you're [ __ ] me the turian military has one about me oh absolutely i heard it myself from a private back on palaven all right why does the alliance hire pilots with brittle bone disease so their marines can beat someone in hand-to-hand drills damn you need to tell james that one hey what's the hardest part about treating a turian who took a rocket to one side of his face figuring out which side took the rocket never thought i'd see the krogan and the turians team up even the reapers have to be a little nervous about pissing them off i'd say more than a little and this bump on my elbow he said it was just a mild bone deformation but i'm pretty sure he stuck a probe in there glad it was just your elbow i always thought he was crazy useful but crazy then he gives up his own life to save the krogan doesn't do much to disprove the crazy theory huh i guess not but he was one of ours so now that we got the krogan and the turians what now the crow can help us turn the tide on palaven they can shoot at something useful for a change dig till we hit daylight huh it works for me so how does it feel knowing krogan will be singing songs about you until the end of time i think it would be an honor there's enough misery in this universe it's nice to see something go right for a change can't say i've ever really witnessed history in the making like this well except for sovereign attacking the citadel and then there was the collector base but this one felt good and let's hope rex keeps running the show onto chunka maybe we should hire a food taster for him imagine the carnage if someone like that brother of his reeve took over that could happen i know it's a chance we have to take but i have to say if it wasn't my own world that needed to help i might have taken that solarian deal i could never bring myself to do that no matter what i was offered i admire your restraint shepard it's nice when we can save the galaxy without destroying another race along the way let's hope our luck holds bailey what are you doing here getting my ass shot off trying to retake headquarters cerberus took it in the first push we got to kick them out of there everyone in c-sec's flying blind without the network how bad's the situation do you know if the counselors are alive they split up i'll know more if i can access the terminal inside why would the counselor be meeting with the executor usually it means someone bigs about to be prosecuted i guess that someone had server as friends the counselor mentioned ludina but that's insane does he even have this kind of pull well you know who'd have the answer to that the counselor one counselor is better than zero where am i headed the counselor could be in the executive's office it's a fairly defensible position i'm on it richfield lamont you alive could you perhaps not alert everyone if gunfire doesn't put them on notice i sure won't shepherd hell of a day medina loses his mind the citadel almost falls and you almost had to put down a friend got a little tense there if it had come down to it could you have pulled the trigger i don't see how we start killing our friends and war turns into murder but it doesn't always give us the easy way out does it at least ash didn't have to join caden let's hope he's looking out for us this was his fight too hey yo good to see you too staying out of trouble i see how many scientists are here 43 plus research assistants you ran with over 40 people when you fear for your life there's a lot you can do wait there are families here children like we didn't have enough to worry about are you sure you want to play this game what's the matter vacarion you chicken i don't even know what that is though i've heard everything in the galaxy taste like it but if you're suggesting i'm scared game on vega age before wisdom okay back in my seasick days i busted a batarian spine ring that was trying to assassinate a counselor please i fought off a dozen agributarians on omega single-handedly used one of them as a landing pad off a three-story jump just warming up seeing what you had now i tracked down this guy sarin stopped him from raising a gas army and unleashing the reapers three years ago doesn't count you did that with shepard you're right i was the shepherd from the very beginning shepard if you're feeling up to it i thought we could do something fun for a change shepard glad you came would you have in mind something that doesn't involve fighting reapers i don't think they've conquered the bar yet i already scoped it out but then i thought if this was my last day live i'd actually like to remember it so so i had an idea where are we going somewhere we're not supposed to now you're talking ever have that one thing you always wanted to do before you died shepard i've woken up with a turian next to me still trying to make me blush huh until it works so what's your one thing the whole time i worked at csac i'd stare up at the top of the presidium and say to myself i want to go up there but i never did there were 137 regulations telling me i couldn't so you got them changed no now i just don't give a damn [Music] figured it's time to do something stupid just for the hell of it might be the last chance we ever get it's incredible i'd be lying if i said i didn't hope it would inspire a certain mood something on your mind it seemed like you needed time to figure us out are you ready to be a one turian kind of woman the only thing that made leaving earth bearable was knowing you were out there somewhere i felt the same way the worst part about the galaxy going to hell would have been never getting to see you again well here i am where i want to be i love you guys vikarion wow the vids joker gave me well they never got this far there was the part about sleeping together but this is who needs a vid when you've got me [Music] now before we head back there is one thing we're going to settle once and for all i'm not saying you don't know how to handle a gun just saying some of us know how to make a dance so let's find out who's really the best shot there are a few people in the galaxy who've seen me in action garrus they seemed impressed yeah but i've actually seen you dance shepard no comment all right vicarion you're going down and don't worry i loaded it with practice lugs for when you miss that was an easy one let you build up your confidence long range i wrote the book nobody alive can do this not even commander shepard give me a tough one i said a tough one step aside do it i'm garrus mccarrion and this is now my favorite spot on the citadel it's windy up here there there it's okay i know there are other things you're good at are that yakshi isolated themselves to avoid that but it doesn't mean they're harmless their urge to feed can be powerful that's why high command sent in commandos to investigate the monastery's distress signal so what does the sorry high command want us to do if there was a chance the art yakshi could break loose the commandos were to purge the monastery purge you mean destroy they would have brought heavy explosives with them yes reapers looks like we know why the commando teams went silent this monastery is out of the way what do the reapers want with ardat yakshi anything useful a floor plan marked with the nav point location of a bomb it's in some place called the great hall at least it's no surprise new gun to change but the commandos want this place gone pretty badly are that yakshi or not evacuating this place would have saved a lot of lives everybody was fighting the rachni trying to push them back through the relay finally the krogan were turned loose and stopped them i see but when the krogan rebelled we had to deploy the genophage to stop them wasn't the only rebellion a thousand years later the geth revolted against the quarians that was a whole other war then along came the humans my own people tangled with them for a while and now to top it all off we've got the reapers what about you the auravoras fought the densorin the enduro might conquered the vandomar and the jatil turned against the shire so i guess nobody really ever gets their act together this syndra claimed to have found the path to eternal peace what happened the ditica preferred war and wiped them out i hope you guys had alcohol it's a brilliant tactic when you think about it but it's evil when has that ever mattered and more yeah but converting other life forms into reapers i can't wrap my head around that makes sense to me it ensures you never run out of cannon fodder eliminates any local resistance and for every soldier you add your enemy loses to the one you converted and his buddy on the other side who can't pull the trigger on a friend you sound like you admire them same way i admire a virus or a threshermaw they've adapted perfectly to their situation but the reapers want to destroy us and i have no intention of letting them but if you don't respect your enemies capabilities you're in for one nasty surprise after another we've all ready's notes on bryson's lab any questions is there a clearer idea of what this leviathan was not really we only know it killed welcome a reaper mineralworks all guests need to sign in at reception they're taking you pretty well don't you think [Music] i'm commander shepard of the alliance you just had reaper troops attacking your front door are they still there i've taken care of them for now i see that will be all that will be how about i just go in and look around no the excess elevator is broken and now we're done step away step away you don't belong here bad vibe to these guys i don't think we want to push it let's look around carefully i need you to tell me everything you found on the leviathan bryson seemed to think it killed a reaper it's a myth a dead end but what about the artifact you mentioned in your message i did no looks like the doors power supply has been cut there are the trouble spots the drone can repair it we'll need to escort it shepard you need to see this what have you got that wasn't garno this is looks like he's been dead for a while so leviathan can have bryson killed can take over this colony and they can use them as puppets huh anything else useful looks like some encrypted data in a personal log eight missed calls from dr ann bryson and bryson so leviathan has the power to take down a reaper and the ability to indoctrinate do you think it actually is a reaper if it is a reaper then i want to know what it's up to i want to know just what the hell these artifacts really are and what they can do whatever they are they're too dangerous to have around and we've got one sitting right in the middle of the citadel strange stuff back on that asteroid we've seen indoctrination before but ten years leviathan had its own private army you've got to wonder how much longer that would have lasted if we hadn't come along just when i thought we were getting a handle on reapers this happens maybe leviathan's more than a bullseye [Music] all right once we're aboard we find whatever's broadcasting the reaper signal and shut it down tally's our expert on geth software she'll be handling hacking and security good to have you back tally and maybe with another dextro aboard they'll get better touring food as long as it's sterilized dr michelle did get me some dextro amino chocolate you're welcome to it once we're back she got you turian chocolate she said she saw it and thought of me why watch yourself shepherd see any action not yet i'm sure you can help me find them sensor data any sign of how the quarians are doing we're taking heavy losses the get have a planetary defense cannon it's ripping through our fleet i'm better at hacking than i am ordering ships around yeah against an enemy dreadnought your combat drone would just float there making that noise i missed you too that'll buy us time no way they'll fire with that maintenance lock in place let's move had the creators not attacked it would have been unnecessary we'll have you out of there soon sounds like they only joined the reapers because the koreans attacked nothing excuses an alliance with the reapers too bad you weren't here earlier tally you just missed rex i heard i can't believe the genophage is really cured shepard's on a roll i figure if we can pull that off we've got a shot at sorting the geth out i don't know the genophage didn't carry rifles and fight back no but there was a scary bit with the mother of all thresher moths long story nobody will believe it anyway i'd believe just about anything no we should play poker sometime anyway it's good to have you back now believe it or not this damn gun still needs calibrating shepard you just knew the geth would figure into this war somehow because reapers weren't enough still it's good to have tally here this is as much her fight as ours any word from palaven some and i don't like what i'm hearing the krogan are there in force but they're just slowing the reapers down not stopping them i'm not sure it's going to be enough hear anything from your family you will but i did hear from primark victus he wanted my advice on fleet strength when the crucible is ready still can't get used to people asking me things like that what did you say i said at some point we're going to have to decide if our fleets keep defending paladin or we go on the offensive can't do both not with the beating we're taking like i said not the sort of questions i'm used to answering you know what you're doing garrus trust me everyone can see that maybe but you spend so much time on the outside trying to get in and when you do it's not what i expected how so all the questions and every one of them with a million lives riding on the answer you do the best you can with what you know it's no different than your days at seasec you're right though i'm starting to understand why the galaxy needs cold-hearted dictators every now and then they get things done they don't give a damn about the consequences suppose that's what it's going to take shepard the ruthless calculus of war 10 billion people over here die so 20 billion over there can live are we up for that are you if we reduce this war to arithmetic we're no better than reapers a nice sentiment let's hope we can live by it dad dad are you there come in where are you now hurt how bad dad you have to get out of there spirits please watch over them let me see them again glad we could help those quarans though i guess not all of them it's never a hundred percent is it telemetry data predicts this operation has a high chance of success there is little time we will bypass security while you secure safe landing wait you're not gonna i guess it just did shepard you all right did it work guest fighters have been disabled this platform can be of some assistance i appreciate the offer legion but this is something i know a thing or two about telemetry data indicates the calibration of normandy's weapon accuracy can be improved that's all you can squeeze 0.34 out of it that threshold is not possible you sure take a look now scanning normandy's weapon systems have been improved by a margin of 0.43 percent how did you accomplish this a little secret we organics like to keep always hold some back for emergencies is our current situation an emergency i guess meddling with our computers telling me how to do my job no i can't imagine that would qualify so a virtual geth reality huh shepard there are a lot of ways i can think of getting a few kicks in this universe that's not one of them peace between the geth and quarians who would have thought not how i ever imagined that would turn out next you'll be telling me the krogan and turians are cooperating oh right you managed that one too you're a peacemaker shepard a rare thing these days now if you can pacify the reapers we'll make you a saint shepard can you hear me you okay i'm fine might need a little backup looking for you archangel is your boyfriend joker filled me in i'm on foot be there as fast as i can excuse me who is this you're an unsecured channel and you're putting commander shepard in danger i'm doing what who is this hang on joker mentioned staff analyst brooks yes that's her everybody play nice god damn it what's happening i heard that from here it's all under control [Music] they have guns and don't like me not helping shepard so having a bad day shepard you could say that landing pad is just over there but it's behind a locked gate let's look for a control panel nice outfit control panel right word is you fell through a fish tank we'll talk about it later a damn shame great food there we'll talk about it later stand back hold on hi there uh could you open this up much appreciated please leave well i could have done that [Applause] [Music] um someone want to tell me what's going on here i didn't recognize those marks heavily armed and using c-sec shuttles i don't know i've never seen them before i can't believe you survived all that they had guns and grenades and there's drone things it's all right i'm calling commander bailey see what's going on with c-sec okay that sounds wait wouldn't that just make whoever you contacted target to she's right shepard until we figured this out it's a big risk okay for now we run this ourselves okay let's figure out who they are and shut them down ideas well i was looking at that pistol you picked up for such a tiny thing it packs a punch never seen anything like it before so what was it shepard five minutes before someone started shooting at you on the other hand we get this cool secret hideout to hang out in unless the bad guys look in the window and if you even think of coming after me i've got info on you ready for prime time so you ponder that con out so that's our identity thief looks like he's got an id disguiser those things are a pain in the ass to get around we can't risk spooking him we go in quiet small team no gun play if that's settled it looks like there's one last hurdle to get us inside which is black tie required looking good shepard i did the best i could without a carapace or a crest your best has my mandible on the floor damn you know i shaved my legs for this oh and i even put concealer over where i got shot just smile and wave brooks what the hell and here i had this bad cop routine all planned hell of a party well unless you were the host didn't end so well for him it wasn't a total loss to borrow a phrase from vega you looked smoking in that dress shepard you got some looks so did i though the ones directed at me said how did a turian like that get a girl like her and if i know it's all just part of the job wait job you mean the rest of you are getting paid for this where's hacking your records is there right now what do we know about the place council keeps sensitive historical information there real hush-hush even my old c-sec clearance never got me in and we'll find our own way in gear up and let's if you're really me then we're on the same team we're not even in the same league did the elusive man send you no he abandoned me when he had what he wanted you then why try to kill us because i don't have her memories i'd never fool my supposed friends the ones who abandoned their duty to join the cult of shepherd like you garros fergarian you're nothing more than a burnt out cop past his prime and you're just a pale imitation of the real thing i'm the real thing perfected i'm you without the wear and tear shepard doubts the failures i'm the lone wolf you were always meant to be we're clear now where'd the other you go she's pushing into the archives stay in your groups at this point anything's possible like waking up and finding out you have a clone i don't want to talk about it right at least not till we've all had a stiff drink check this out says this gun was part of the first contact war year 2157 first time my people met your shepherd naturally bullets were involved fighting your own clone pretty crazy even by our standards now they're just fighting dirty this is shepard we need [Music] that's why i love hanging out with you guys why shoot something once when you can shoot it 46 more times try to help out your friends and you end up in a mech fight you're welcome team mako that can't be good brooks the vault sealed us in is there an override i'm not seeing one fair warning nobody who's betrayed us has ever survived and yet oddly they keep trying she said i should go do i sound like that as long as i've known you yeah crazy thought but maybe we should be worrying about this impregnable vault we've been sealed inside forever how come nobody told me about this before i'm open to feedback here well i thought all humans said it like some weird earth custom or something probably not a lot of air in here either an hour if we're lucky maybe it's i should go i should go i should go shepard please why aren't you more worried about this oh glyph you still out there yes commander unlock this damn thing and go find the others no one steals my ship not even me when we want to take off there's a half hour of pre-flight checks they just gun the engine and go maybe we should skip the pre-flight ourselves next time that's sealed the engines are online they're about to take off is there anyone still aboard who can help us no i was only there because i helped with the normandy retrofits back on earth everyone else is on shore leave okay you know the ship inside and out can you get me inside there's an emergency exit hatch for evacuations it should be right here manual lock and it's only meant to be open from the other side any ideas from this side a very precise mass effect field maybe pretty sure we broke trainer's toothbrush getting the hatch open remind me to reimburse her for that i'll make a note of it so i'm the only one who misses when we used to chat in the elevators back on the citadel yep so disappointed look at you what makes you so damn special why you and not me hang on we got thanks well what happens on shoreline stays on shoreleaf come on maybe we can take some actual time off no explosions or anything just us so a turian on shore leave you come here often is this that uh first date thing we talked about got it yes yeah oh i come here often good place to blow off steam scenery's not bad either though the view in front of me is even better that's supposed to melt a girl's heart no but this voice is i'm garrison code name archangel all-round turian bad boy and dispenser of justice in an unjust galaxy also i kill reapers on the side and you are commander shepard alliance navy shepard huh i might have heard a few things about you oh flatter me word is you smart sexy a wicked shot also you kill reapers on the side too and do most girls fall for that well sure you know this voice and uh and um i'm running out of banter here shepard make it up remember we just met right yeah i mean yeah all the girls fall for it let me show you what are you doing it'll be fun oh no no no no no no been taking lessons on the side [Music] you're gonna pay for this later [Music] promises promises [Music] [Music] [Music] now you're getting it [Music] um [Music] [Applause] [Music] so tell me think a girl would fall for that oh hell yes i see you've been putting that reach and flexibility to good use you know it and it gets even better when you try it in bed though his life took him to very dark places thane cared for the better angels of our nature even when he was terminally ill he ran through war-torn streets to reach me because he knew i needed help you all know the results of that day an assassin a professional criminal gave his life for his galaxy and now he can rest would anyone else like to speak it's strange but the last word i'd label thane with is assassin we covered each other in fire fights that makes him a partner getting some strange signals though give me a minute that artifact she uncovered could be causing trouble we've already seen what they can do agreed take us in closer may sound strange but i'm certain it affects people their behavior i've only had a short time to study it not strange at all did you find anything not much but i did learn something about the energy it generates get down what are they doing they've activated it i've never managed anything the darkness must not be breached shepard take it out so no regrets over fighting the reapers on a human ship hey the normandy's design was part and remember you know what i mean no somebody has to keep you from giving all the dextrose a bad name that's right i remember you chastising me on behalf of my species for losing our homeworld to the guest i never said that would you like me to send you an audio recording no i hate listening to recordings of myself my voice never comes out right listen about what i said forget it no i was wrong i was young and i was wrong about your people i guess losing palaven put things in perspective yeah you could say that how about you you ever mind serving on an all-human ship somebody has to stick around to keep you in line shepard i admit i was worried about you on that dig site things got pretty hectic not used to feeling like that you know that's what love does turns a guy like me into a nervous wreck with something to lose in the aim to make sure he doesn't nobody better hurt you is all i'm saying whatever's going on it's well hidden i remember your mother she fought to break free of indoctrination and this brings all those memories back what if thessia faces the same fate i still can't face those things my own people no one ever said the reapers played fair they hope to break our morale by turning our own kind against us take a look at their throats what happened to them they've been slit the reapers didn't do this we're going to have to figure this out on our own who's that supposed to be the goddess of fame herself it's a relic of the old faith awful lot of trouble for a dead religion i admit this does seem rather elaborate even by our standards there is a universal energy ah there's a prothean beacon here what you're sure it's not something you forget but why hide it from what you've told me about the one on mars these beacons are a motherload of information worth keeping quiet about that can't be i can't believe my people would keep this a secret a beacon like this could explain why sorry are so advanced you did say this temple was thousands of years old liara that's a lot of time to study it that doesn't make it true but think about it a scientific breakthrough every couple centuries and your people would be running the galaxy which they pretty much do well if it is true the asari should have shared this knowledge we might not have been in this mess if they had any word from your family they made it off palaven it was tight but they're okay that's fantastic that must be a weight off your shoulders it is though this being a war one burden replaces another what happened i just had to make a tough call with primark he said our fleets are being decimated so i advised him to cease all offensive operations against the reapers a full retreat the only way to save palivan now is to hold our ships back for the crucible but if i'm wrong then a lot of other turian families won't be as lucky as mine that's a hell of a gamble no other options if there are i can't see them it all comes down to the crucible now and ruthless calculus how are you holding up shepard this all has to be taking a toll there's only so much fight in a person only so much death you can take before you before a certain turian with no romantic skills to speak of tries to cheer you up cheer coming from you mood swings don't worry we'll get through this we always do not something you can never get used to seeing a world go down like that thousands of years of civilization on fire but it wasn't your fault tessier was already gone by the time we got there and maybe the elusive man did win one but so what i've lost a few fights in my time and i'm still here she must be devastated that's not something you ever forget shepard this is when you take all your anger and frustration bottle it up then use it to rearrange every molecule in kailang's body cortez what's the status on the probe we launched tracking it now commander i've confirmed that leviathan's signal originates from this planet heard how uh anne helped us locate it it's pretty spooky stuff makes you wonder what we're going to find down there a reaper killer that's what bryson's task force was calling it doesn't look like it wants to be found it doesn't have a choice we're here right but then what it plays pretty rough and if it is a reaper i don't know that's the kind of help we want nobody says we have to be friends with it but if this thing has the rest of the reapers worried then we need its help commander new readings from the probe let's narrow down leviathan's location you're not going to like it it's here there's nothing but ocean i show a concentration of structures floating on the surface but the probes giving us a signal below that way below under water looks that way shuttle should still be able to reach it that's possible the kodiak is specked to nearly a thousand atmospheres but i've never actually tested that yes we're going to find out status some kind of pulse hit us systems are shutting down race for impact a diving mech it's a triton model military grade repurposed for deep sea exploration as long as the sea water hasn't corroded it should be good to go well that's what we have to do let's get started hold on a second are we actually considering first we'll need to restore power to get that cargo door open how i guess we are all right commander let's get you out of there and i'll do a systems check listen chip i'm all for crazy ideas but this one's off the charts but come too far to stop now the way home is through leviathan okay seals check out oxygen pressure is nominal systems are a go it's as ready as i can make it let's go but shepard i'll be fine closing hatch foreign [Music] shepherd's back cortez talk to me we're good to go i don't know what the commander did but the pulse is offline shepard wake up she's freezing are you okay yeah yeah i'm fine hell of a headache never do that again shepard i looked over your mission report gotta say it feels like we've been after these reapers forever from sovereign to leviathan they've been a pain in the ass the whole time but at least we're starting to see the big picture never really thought we'd get any answers doesn't change much but it does make this war feel a whole lot bigger so what do we know shepard edie the sanctuary facility was devoted to aiding refugees from reaper-controlled systems the facility went offline recently and no communications have covered were gone since it is unclear why kai lang or cerberus would be interested in sanctuary pretty big mess shepard lots of combat yeah but who is fighting what happened here don't know come on cerberus on the move came from that tower then that's where we're headed security cam footage the place where they sorted out refugees that's a lot of people come on let's keep looking this must be another landing area those ships we saw outside must have been waiting to get in but where are all the people they brought got some bodies shepard casualties both sides a security panel shutting it down what's going on that's cerberus tech all right but there's something different about it modifications a lot of modifications we have a back door into the facility let's move the command center by the looks of it needs power look around for a switch power switch there what is this those are the refugees right they're just rounding them up and killing them worse they're being turned into husks terminals damaged hang on reapers wanted this place shut down maybe we'll find out why it doesn't make sense that cerberus and the reapers were getting along what changed you got it tricking refugees with food and shelter only to turn them into test subjects and for what draw them in and throw them in a meat grinder she said that shipments were sent to the elusive man maybe we can use that to find him good catch controlling reaper forces is that possible i don't know i'll play the rest of it so the elusive man really believes he can control reapers husks are one thing but a whole fleet the man is insane a lot of turians went to sanctuary when i meet the elusive man i'm going to carve their names into his skull sidelines aren't bad one point in its favor and i'm supposed to be impressed and what the hell is this supposed to be i i think it's hard what are you guys doing over here looking at this poor excuse of an apartment that's what what's wrong with it what would you do if another one of your clones broke in here right offer them a cup of tea there are too many windows they're too big makes it easy for someone to track your movement but it's got potential be easy to set up a defensible position i'll extend the wall out prevent someone sticking you in the back good idea wish i could have done that back in the day on omega fine is good for someone else not the love of my life and i i want to know you're safe suppose it isn't your clone it's the ara's clone that comes after you or jokers then you and all your clones can have a sodding love fest i think i'm gonna puke all right have fun shepard i know i don't say this enough but i love your here and i'm pretty damn partial to the rest of you what about over there it would work if there wasn't a point of entry right there so we barricaded off maybe install tripwire you're a genius for carry and i swear it microfilament's the answer you think they're never better yeah a 5x5 grid across the glass should do the trick all right garrus i gotta know what are you doing um oh nothing just uh admiring the polish on this glass don't tell her she won't understand try me oh it's just well one man's decorative glass wall fixture is another man's explosive glass wall fixture explosive micro filaments shepard tiny strips of explosives laid across the glass in a grid it's your first line of defense when an intruder enters hit the switch and boom they're shredded to pieces weaponized war in home fixtures uh-huh shepard sweetie love of my life indulge your crazy boyfriend i need to know you're safe if it'll make you feel better honey god knows this place has enough of them so what do we do now zaid i'm telling you the kitchen's a gold mine of possibilities another clone drops behind my fancier pipe to eat break the refrigerator hey guys talking shop no worries this is fun for us so you don't have a sidearm under your pilot's chair the weapons locker is on the bridge practically right there a weapon you can't get to is no weapon at all the last time you trained with a some handgun before i got the ass kicking robot as my co-pilot that's not good i mean what if you have to save edie someday hell yeah go for it captain on deck has she always been like this shepard is saving the galaxy you have to forgive a few eccentricities it's very enthusiastic it is impressive hey that's my girlfriend oh damn it almost kept it straight what is she doing with her arms good to see some things don't change well i like it commander it's good to see you cut loose now and then thank you for all your loyalty and support uh shepherd is it just the alcohol or do you have bids running in your head of us mostly naked completely alone and shamelessly rolling all over a couch thanks for coming everyone here's to us ready glyph of course if you could all please direct your attention this way okay everyone say normandy oh what a night but look who's here yeah i hung out a lot of places last night your upper body your lower body pretty much all the parts in between turians certainly don't lack for a sense of direction and you don't lag for places to get lost let's see if anyone else is up did we break anything last night i don't suppose you need anything around here can the bray did yeah okay maybe i should just stop saying that word but only if liara stopped saying by the goddess good thing this place has extra bathrooms miranda takes forever to do her hair you'd think with her jeans she wouldn't need to so i guess it's back to the fight at least we threw one hell of a party probably the last one that doesn't sound like my girl you'll find a way to win and when this is over i'll be waiting for you best times in my life were spent on that ship been a damn good ride the best the reapers and cerberus started this now we're gonna end it i'll get the fleets mobilized shepard thought you might be up here you know what the best part is about a battle that decides the whole fate of the galaxy winning it i was thinking it's a good excuse to remind the ones you care about that and well you care about them want some company he read my mind guess i'm getting pretty good at this but some more practice wouldn't hurt bad dream you ever get them i tend to expect the worst anyway so dreaming about it is just a waste of good sleep what about now i'm expecting a tough fight what's bothering you can we ever be ready for a battle like this everything we've ever known it's all hanging by a thread garros yeah but the truth is when hasn't it every fight we've ever seen could have been our last every bullet we've ever dodged could have been the one there have been a lot of bullets and this time around they're just a little bigger i don't know what i'd do without you the central lab was located behind this hangar i suggest we followed the fighter's path noted let's move shepard that console has not been fully scrubbed it contains data you may find interesting what am i looking at project lazarus your reconstruction it can't be done it's not a matter of resources it's always a matter of resources we're not losing shepherd sir shepard is clinically brain dead after that much trauma that long with no oxygen we cannot overcome nature operative lawson disagrees she is now in charge of project lazarus i didn't realize it was that bad pretty stark you okay i'm still me i doubt i'd have been able to turn against cerberus otherwise i don't remember anything maybe they really just fixed me or maybe i'm just a high-tech vi that thinks it's commander shepard but i don't know you're real a little crazy maybe but real we need shepard and shepard needs resources she'll work with us he really had you boxed in every instinct i had told me not to trust cerberus but i needed their help so i played along you did what you had to shepherd and i was there with you contact and send me the psych profile on shepard's pilot along with a bottle of 47 thessia red sneaky little bastard use them to keep you from seeing the real cerberus looks like the human proto reaper we killed what's left of it surprised cerberus recovered that much from the base all those colonies kidnapped processed into that and service hangs it up like a trophy the elusive man convinced me to work with him to save the colonies but he never really cared did he i think he did he just cares more about studying it the dead are only a statistic now somehow that seems even worse cerberus is actively using the surviving pieces the central core analogous to the heart is largely intact i believe cerberus is using it for a power source shepard we were just saying goodbye and making friendly wagers optimistic wagers in your case a turian military operative competing with a korean mechanic and i'm the optimistic one do you remember i lost yes it was filled with gas which tilted the odds in your favor i still have the shotgun i'll be sure to let a few reaper forces get close enough for you to use it thanks of course if they get past me they'll be right on top of you that's what the armor is for youtube been with me longer than most you believed in me when nobody else did thanks a lot shepard well you did give me some incentive at least we finally killed lieutenant bastard kai lang just hope we get to do the same to his general it's kind of amazing how everything's come full circle the citadel has been the center of galactic civilization a reaper trap and my source of employment for a long time and now it's our salvation for any chance at winning this war i think it's time we got you back home shepard earth will either be remembered as the place we beat the reapers or it'll be a smoking ruin for the next cycle to wonder about sorry shepherd i know it isn't easy i barely even recognize it [ __ ] we got a lock hold on damn it status that was the squad responsible for taking out that defense turret who's on it now nobody in the vicinity all either deployed or shot down drop us off ma'am we have to take that thing out before hammer can land understood change of plans people we're going to take out that hades cannon on foot that'll be a challenge that down shuttle would have been carrying heavy weapons perfect you heard the man once we're clear make your way to the crashed shuttle we'll search the wreckage for heavy weapons with you shepard get us out of here corporal you okay i'm alive that you are commander anderson i knew you wouldn't let me down it's good to see you and your sight for sore eyes the entire galaxy united too bad it took the reapers to bring us together shepherds the one that brought them together that's exactly what i meant i expected to see more of hammer here by now a lot of them won't be making it you two go on ahead i'll catch up shepherd so i guess this is just like old times huh might be the last chance we get to say that i think we're gonna lose no i think we're about to kick the reapers back into whatever black hole they crawled out of then we're going to retire somewhere warm and tropical and live off the royalties from the vids maybe even find out what a turian human baby looks like i'm game though i think adoption is a better idea biology may not cooperate huh i suppose there will be a lot of little krogan around soon we just have to beat the reapers first james told me there's an old saying here on earth may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead not sure if taurean heaven is the same as yours but this thing goes sideways and we both end up there meet me at the bar i'm buying we're a team garrus there's no shepherd without vacarion so you better remember to duck sorry turians don't know how but i'll improvise and shepard forgive the insubordination but your boyfriend has an order for you come back alive and be an awfully empty galaxy without you goodbye garrus and if i'm up there in that bar and you're not i'll be looking down you'll never be alone never this war has brought us pain and suffering and loss but it's also brought us together as soldiers allies friends this bond that ties us together is something the reapers will never understand it's more powerful than any weapon stronger than any ship it can't be taken or destroyed the next few hours will decide the fate of everyone in the galaxy every mother every son every unborn child they're trusting you depending on you to win them their future a future free from the threat of the reapers but take heart look around you you're not in this fight alone we face our enemy together and together we will defeat them huh from here on in it's a straight shot to the beam a straight shot with reapers trying to crush us along the way we just need to get a handful of troops through that all we knew this was going to be a gamble at best can't think of anyone else i'd rather do this with feels like this fight's always been ours to finish normandy do you copy i need an evac right now come on here take him shepard you got to get out of here and you've got to be kidding me don't argue garrus we're in this to the end no matter what happens here you know i love you i always will shepard i love you too go did we get anyone to the beam [Music] [Music] so [Music] and while we still have many challenges ahead of us [Music] we can face them together and we will honor those who died to give us that future [Music] [Music] you
